The Art of the Newlyn School: Paintings from the Bowerman Collection

Penlee House Gallery and Museum, Morrab Road, Penzance TR18 4HE
Jenna Burlingham Gallery is delighted to support The Art of the Newlyn School: Paintings from the Bowerman Collection, at Penlee House Gallery and Museum in Penzance, which opens on 7th October 2026.
Founded from the private collection of David Bowerman MBE, the Bowerman Charitable Trust now holds a major collection of Newlyn School paintings, second in importance and scope only to Penlee House.
Forty of these paintings have been gathered together to form a national touring exhibition that is being launched at Penlee this October, before touring to Nottingham, Dedham, Birkenhead, Worcester, and Newcastle. From much-loved favourites such as Walter Langley’s large oil painting Breadwinners to rarely seen treats such as Harold Harvey’s Titbits, all shown alongside key works from our own collection, the exhibition offers a treat for all Newlyn School fans.
Accompanying the exhibition, there will be a new book, ‘The Art of the Newlyn School: Paintings of Cornish Life and Light’ by Alison Bevan. Featuring over 150 illustrations from Penlee House and the Bowerman Collection, the book will be available from our shop.
